Come Party With Me: Twist Off — Dessert

For FabSugar and my Twister party, I'm going to get creative with the dessert. My first instinct was to serve something twisted, but then I thought it's more fun to offer a sweet inspired by the Twister mat.

Thus, I'm going to take this recipe for classic vanilla-on-vanilla cupcakes and make mini cupcakes. Then, I'll divide the vanilla buttercream into four bowls and tint each one a different color: red, blue, green, and yellow.

I'll arrange the mini cupcakes on a white platter in the same pattern that the dots are on a Twister board! To look at the basic vanilla cupcake recipe I'm using, read more.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until combined. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.

In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts, scraping down sides of bowl before each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.

Creative and colorful idea! Another really tasty vanilla cupcake recipe is the one from the Magnolia Bakery cookbook, if you don't have objections to using a little bit of self-rising flour. :) Your cupcakes do look absolutely delicious!
